A huge well done to our Coach of the Year for 2018, Vivien Coughlan of Cotswold Water Ski Club! We can't possibly sum up all the reasons for her well deserved win in a single post, but we'll give it a go!
A quote from one of the nominations:
"Tirelessly and year after year Viv gives all her spare time to train the young children in our club and they excel. No matter the child, from our club or others, she is always trying to help the kids enjoy the water and progress in any d...iscipline."
A few words from the judging panel:
“Our winner (Vivien Coughlan) was on this occasion our first clear choice from the outset as she demonstrated a long term commitment and passion with Kids Coaching Club / now Cutting Edge programme for almost 20 years in coaching kids of the south west regional clubs & Cotswold Club to produce very good teams for the annual competition.”.
Here she is having her award presented by Olympic snowboarder Jenny Jones at our Coaching Conference on Monday 29th April. Well done Viv!
